category. The Christian faith is an active faith. Jesus said that because
he had all authority in heaven and earth he was sending us to make
disciples. Pastor Chip discusses that this is part of the real meaning of
Christmas.

Jesus left all the glory of heaven to be born as a human baby. But he was
born to be the King of kings and Lord of lords. When we meet Jesus we are
faced with a decision. We must either crown Jesus as king of our life, or
we must kill him.

Just before his arrest, Jesus went to the garden to pray. We can learn from
him how to respond to difficult times. We have a Lord and Savior who
understands what we’re going through. We worship a God who has been through
the worst of the worst.

Even though marriage has been is significant decline in the US in recent
decades and roughly half of all marriages end in divorce, marriage is at

Forgiveness is not natural for most of us but it's the nature of God. When
Jesus taught about forgiveness, Peter asked how many times he should
forgive a fellow believer who sins against him. He asked if he should
forgive as many as seven times. Jesus responded that he should forgive more
times than he can count.
